Big Bear Trail Riding Extravaganza- May 6th-8th

Recommended Posts

Listen to you!!! Is rest and recuperation even in your vocabulary?

Not really...(I went to work the day after surgery)....I was excited for the chance to cruise to julian today as a bike passenger..... but my kids flipped .(they kind of serve as my guardians at times :lol: ) ...I guess they were right, best to wait til I get my real cast and heal a few weeks before that..so I respected their wishes and didnt go.....look forward to see you guys in big bear in a couple weeks...

They're right Deb...after my wrist sugery, I went mountain biking with a cast on and pins still in place-

I bent the pins so badly, they hurt like HELL getting removed...and I didn't even crash!

Let it heal, go to physical therapy, and be ready to ride when the body is healed

All good advice that most of us stupid boys ever heed

Considering the end of winter weather and what looks like a promising Spring this year, I expect to see the South side forestry gates open this weekend. (2N10, 2N26, 2N54, Sand Canyon, 2N93 and all points connected to Wildhorse Meadow, Seven Oaks and Coon Creek Cabin area)

Everything to the East (2N02, 2N03, Jacoby Canyon, to Cactus Flats, Rattlesnake Canyon, Pioneertown) have been clear for a while. In fact I've stumbled across a few (new to me) trails above Erwin Lake and Lake Williams that connect to trails East.

I'll check Polique, John Bull, Gold Mountain and the Holcomb area towards Deep Creek this weekend.

Should be all clear with some slushy melting snow maybe in some of the North facing shaded corners.

Pyro, you still in need of a loaner...??

I'm all set brother. I got a sweet new (to me) KLR. Thanks again for the generous offer my friend. Unfortunately I won't be making this one anyway. Hopefully I can get up there for a visit at some point later in the year. A very Happy B-Day and best wishes to the birthday girls! :)

Weather is beautiful

John Bull Clear exxcept for several Jeeps. They seemed to think I was crazy.

Gold Mt. Clear

Van Dusen CLOSED But accessible from other points ie; John Bull and the dump

Polique OPEN and clear with some puddles

Holcomb Valley via Fawnskin Rim of the World OPEN and clear

Jacoby Canyon above the dump or from Cactus Flats clear with a little flowing water

Forestry gates on South side are still closed as of today. Signs say .....thru April.

I have two questions:

-can I park my truck at the campground or near by during the day?

-what time does the ride star on Saturday?
